Annual event honors donors and student recipients
On May 12, 2008 the Annual Family & Memorial Scholarship Reception was held in the
STVM Student Center. A record-breaking 300 donors, scholarship recipients, and their
families enjoyed the evening dinner reception which opened with a presentation by the
STVM Irish Dance Team.
The 2008 theme was legatum (Latin. legacy) which represents the many donors who so
generously support STVM students and also celebrates the students who benefit from these
scholarships. Both now and in the years to come our students have the opportunity to further
share in this legacy and support future students by donating to scholarships.
Following brief remarks by Susie Gaebel Wallace VM91, Financial Aid Coordinator,
Rev. Thomas A. McGovern said the blessing. This legacy and desire to give back was
evidenced by the generous honor gift donations made by the scholarship students and their
parents. A check was presented to the Endowment Board in the amount of $1,439.38 for the
General Endowment which funds scholarships and tuition assistance.
It was a memorable evening for the donors and the students marked by two special
announcements. Mrs. Joanne Zaratsian, Director of Major Gifts, provided an update on the
GAR Foundation Challenge Grant which benefits our Endowment. Joanne presented the
names of the newly established scholarships (Pg. 22). Lastly, the STVM Class of 2008
announced that their class gift to STVM is the establishment of the Marie Daily Stephenson
VM85 Memorial Scholarship.
Our community is blessed to have such a strong legatum and tradition!
